A leader of the January 29 group of red shirts warned Thursday of a permanent split within the movement if nothing is done to patch over the differences among those supporting and opposing the controversial blanket-amnesty bill.
Suda Rangkupan, leader of the faction concentrating on the release of political as well as lese majeste prisoners, said the decision by the pro-Thaksin Shinawatra Asia Update television station to pull the plug on programmes hosted by red-shirt co-leaders like Jatuporn Prompan will lure many red shirts to defect, as Jatuporn is very popular and has many followers.
